Handing Cincinnati its second straight shutout, Floyd Bannister tossed a four-hitter as the Astros downed the Reds, 5-0. The Astros got four consecutive first-inning singles, with Jose Cruz and Bob Watson driving in runs. Cruz added an RBI single in the third after Enos Cabell walked and reached second on a balk. Jesus Alou got a pinch-hit single to plate two additional tallies in the eighth and finish off the Reds.
